A Psychic Vacuum



NELSON, A PSYCHIC VACUUM, OPENS THIS SATURDAY, NOON - 7PM 117 Delancey @ Essex (then every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, noon - 6pm through Oct. 28)
6,500 square feet, 60 tons of sand, 3 months of meticulous construction - Nelson has transformed the old Essex Street Market (closed for over a decade) into the most amazing installation – a suprising journey through an immersive parallel universe. Don’t miss the first NYC installation by the internationally acclaimed Turner Prize nominee.
